What colour type is my betta?

I just bought my second betta Vincent (named because he looks like a Van Gogh painting )

My question is, what colour type would he be considered? He's a metallic greeny-blue (depending on the light) with apricot fins, and the green bleeds into his fins too. Is he a mustard gas betta that hasn't finished developing his full colour yet? Or do you think he might turn solid blue/green?

 

He’s is beautiful. Not sure what colour tho

 

Thanks! I guess I'll have to wait a while and see which way he develops

 

He is absolutely gorgeous! For now, I would say a multi-colored betta, but I am sure that he is going to change.

I've seen a pic of one that looks sort of like him at the Petco site, and it was labeled a mermaid betta. I'm not sure about these labels that sellers put on them, but with his trio of body colors, I would say multi-colored veil tale.

I would love to see pics as he changes!

 

Lovely! keep us posted

his coloring rmeinds me of the Mustard betta, blue body, yellow fins

 

Thanks! I'll post some more pictures when his colour develops.

Wow he does look like the mermaid betta on the Petco site. Except with more yellow in his fins, although there's a bit of pink too. He caught my eye at the pet store because all the other bettas were solid colour, and he was very shimmery and rainbowy in comparison

 

He is very pretty!

 

His pic had me picking up my copy of The Betta Bible again to re-read about colors, genetics, and color layers! He really is fascinating!

 

I hadn't heard of that book, but just had a flick through the sample on Amazon and it looks interesting and well written. I might have to invest in a copy

 

Most books about bettas that I have looked into are really not written for, well, adults, IMO. Or at least, not for people with some experience, I should say. This one is the best that I have found, so far. It's got some great pictures, too.
